Digg to be Sold to Google?
I wonder what to do with the sound effects. Will Microsoft change the interface on the Xbox360? Child Online Protection Act has been over-turned. New law needed. Looks like Google may buy Digg for$200 million. CherryPal announces terminal calls it something else. Wiis selling like hotcakes down under. Spam King gets nearly 4 years in jail. GigaOm buying other blogs. Microsoft going to go after Apple with advertising. Finally! The DNS flaw is out in the wild. Look for exploits coming your way.

GM Gearing Up for Electric Car Era
Apple looking better and better but margin cuts may hurt the stock price. I like the way Apple does updates for the Mac. TiVO and Amazon doing a deal where you can watch live TV and then buy a product that you see on the show out-of-the blue. People do not watch entertainment just to buy something. General Motors wants electric stations to be set up all over the country by the utilities companies. Esquire Magazine is going to use e-Ink for fancy 75th anniversary edition. Should be fascinating. iPhone selling for $1000 on eBAY. IBM selling off Lenovo shares. AMD is on the road to recovery. The ASUS eeePC become hot in the EU.
